Excellent, safe, and fun tour of Galilee - Max did great as a guide and our driver was safe/professional. The guide, Max was sensitive to my wife's disabilities. Max was multilingual too, knowing both Spanish and Russian, as do I. This was helpful, as I didn't need to translate to Spanish for my wife. He could speak directly with her. The tour was great also because I preferred to relax and let someone else drive for a day. We felt safe and cared for as well, given the current conflict situation. The tour was timely, fun, and educational. It was a pleasure to experience what Israel's northern Galilee region had to offer. We came to Israel to volunteer, as well as for sightseeing. We came to stand with Israel in this difficult time, and felt safe and fulfilled in doing so.

Footsteps of Jesus in Galilee - This was the first day trip back to Galilee from Jerusalem for our guide Omer Geva. Picked up on time, then added more guests in Tel Aviv, then on to our first stop Nazareth, Jesus' birthplace, followed by his first miracle site the wedding feast at Kana. We had a great stop in Capernaum then we stopped by the Mount of the Beatitudes where Jesus multiplied the bread and fish. The day finished with a stop at the Jordan River where it is said Jesus might have been baptized. Omer's passion for the sense of place and for the Biblical story was evident all day and he bent over backwards to meet everyone's needs. I would describe him as a natural teacher and a guide who could 'read the room' perfectly. Thank you so much.

Guide made the difference - We went with Tourist Israel for the Christian Galilee tour to Nazareth and Galilee, in the delightful company of Mansoor who pitched double duty as guide and driver, handling both duties admirably. Despite the early start (6am from the Waldorf Astoria!) and scorching sun, the day was well-paced and made for fun learning about the places we saw. Big thanks to Mansoor who took very good care of us; will not be forgetting his Galilee puns anytime soon.

Tourist Israel-A vacation to remember - Tourist Israel (agent- Ludo) helped me book this tour for 12 people. Ludo is wonderful to work with. I can’t say nothing but good regarding her and company. Our guide/Driver was Firas Mansour. He was wonderful. We want him for all of our tours.. 😂 He was So knowledgeable and gave us the best experience we could ever ask for. He has a great personality and was so patient and kind to us. He has a great passion for his job and people and it shows. He is such a professional and asset to Tourist Israel. Thank you Ludo and Thank you Firas for a vacation to remember!!!

Great tour to GALILEE, NAZARETH AND MORE TOUR - The tour was well balanced, the tour guide Daniel was really good and told us a lot of things. He also let us have enough time for pictures and those who wanted to be baptised even though we were a bit late all managed which was very nice. Really great experience.

Best Tour Agency in Israel - What an experience! It was my first time in Israel and Tourist Israel made it a point to be a memorable one. We went to Galilee, Nazareth, and Jordan River and we had the most amazing time with Avi, our tour guide and Mustafa, our driver. Avi is very knowledgable about everything we saw and everywhere we went. I really learned a lot during the tour and I wish I could have stayed longer in Israel. Plus points for Avi for giving us a glimpse of how the Torah is recited. I would definitely recommend Tourist Israel to my friends and relatives who are planning to go to Israel. They offer the most affordable yet worthy packages. The van/bus is high class and very comfortable. The places we went to are quite far from each other but because of how comfy the van is, I didn't mind the distance.

The tour was amazing! - The tour was amazing! I enjoyed the day from the start when Tourist Israel staff waited next to the bus to welcome us, through the whole tour with Oded that was knowledgeable and funny. We visited many Christian sites and heard stories about them. Oded was patient with the group and was able to coordinate the times with the driver perfectly throughout the whole tour I highly recommend booking this tour with Tourist Israel, mostly for people who do not like to walk much.
